Try and merge the "merged" list

prompt: here is a list of concepts and definitions. there will be overlaps and redundant concepts, i.e. the same concept labeled in different / slight variations of the name. remember, MERGE both the concept and the definition so I have an exhaustive and comprehensive list


Sure, here is the merged and alphabetically sorted list of concepts and definitions:

  1. Abstraction: The process of subsuming more details into fewer categories to make connections between disparate things.
  2. Accuracy: How close our measurement is to the true value.
  3. Adaptation: The ability of businesses and other entities to adjust and find solutions in a flexible and responsive manner, rather than relying on rigid processes and policies.
  4. Adiabatically Isolated System: A system not in communication with its surroundings, meaning no energy, matter, or information enters or leaves.

prompt: here are concatenated list of concepts and definitions from several essays. there will be overlaps and redundant concepts across the different sections, as well as the same concept labeled in different names / many slight variations of the name. please FIRST convert them all into lower case, MERGE them, and then sort the list alphabetically, and turn the concepts back their original cases. remember, MERGE both the concept and the definition so I have an exhaustive and comprehensive list

Sean McClure - Substack Sample
1. **Deadlines**: Time constraints that demarcate efforts against other responsibilities, giving coworkers notice of contribution delivery and allowing consumers to gauge the next release. They help visualize life on a timeline, giving a sense of control and progress, and make it easier to have goals and orient work around bite-sized pieces.
2. **Not So Natural**: The concept that deadlines are a product of modern life and not a natural phenomenon. Our ancestors likely had a different perception of time, unencumbered by the preoccupation of how long something takes to complete.
3. **Nature Chooses our Deadlines**: The idea that deadlines are both needed and unnatural, meaning things are required by a certain date, but there is something wholly unnatural about the deadlines we create. It suggests that the right solution will emerge when the necessary pieces and interactions come together naturally.
4. **Solutions as Peaks in Complexity**: The notion that solutions to problems can be thought of as resolution
